ANy spot welder can do it. They have to have the right equipment to SPOT weld. Not every welder has that. I get mine done for about 5-10 bucks at a place that makes car parts.

More specifically...
You're looking for someone who can "resistance weld." The equipment looks like a large pair of copper-colored tongs (a foot long or more), between which you pinch the two pieces of metal that you want to become one.
Any other type of weld (mig, tig, stick) is going to leave a blob of additional metal that's not supposed to be there.

not if they know what they are doing....any good TIG welder can pull it off[fusion weld/no filler rod], no blob-no prob....incidentally a maladjusted resistance welder can ruin a piece just as quickly as any other process, but if that was the way its done from the factory, thats the best way to repair it, just make sure that you remove any dirt/rust/oxidation that has developed in between the two surfaces since the break...and ask around. find out what shops are RELIABLE for good work...or just use some JB Weld, HOOOO-RAH......

Tig weld route is risky...
Takes somewhat of a talisman welder to do it correctly. On the other hand, any metal worker worth his salt should have the common sense to do it right with a spot welder.
I must say that's an amusing story, tynell. But you bring up a point we should take very seriously as proper rod hygiene is very important.

Here is a pic of Tig welding repairs on a chrome bird chair.
I fabricate lots of race car parts, and turned the skills towards modern furniture a few years back. Its fun, easy and rewarding. TIG always requires clean surfaces, no rust, and offers complete fushion in the smallest space. These will not break like the low quality spot welds.
good luck
?t=12...

absolutely....
i used to build/fabricate motorcycles of some note and a TIG weld is by and far the most superior reliable weld out there...and if you can find a REPUTABLE shop they should be able to swing it just fine...as far as a destroyed piece-nary such an instance....metal is almost infinitely repairable....as far as finish work, i was always a huge fan of a set of good quality handfiles, sandpaper, and patience/reverance with what your working on.....still doesnt explain why i cant find a good job....
i was one of two sets of hands that built that in 3 weeks flat.....i miss it soo{the work}

Application...
While tig welding is a much more durable weld and a more versatile technique in most applications, I just don't see its worth here. The purpose of spot welding in this application is invisibility. You want the two pieces of rod or wire to look as if they're merely "touching" at the weld point if you will. The Bird chair posted above illustrates my point. I must say it's a nice job obviously performed by an experienced hand. But the points of intersection however display melding which is obvious to any trained eye and no amount filing will change that.
